recruit from California was batting. After
Van Haltren's performance this morn
ing, Captain Anson concluded to have the
Pacific slope terror tackle the Bostons TO-
day. He felt more like doing this because
the visitors had in the box another left
handed pitcher recently signed known as
The South Paw Terror" The two kids
were pretty evenly matched, SO far as merit
and reputation are concerned. The long
practice of Van Haltren with the bat be-
fore the game, with Sullivan and DAILY as

The same policy was pursued
when Sunday first Joined the club.
He could catch well, and outran any
| one in the team, but was weak at the bat.
For weeks Anson kept him glued to the
plate and had other members pitch and
throw balls at him to accustom him to
swift delivery. Sunday improved under
such treatment, and Van Haltren will get
about the same discipline.
The Chicagos came on the grounds at
3:15. First marched Captain Anson, with
Van Haltren on his right. Austin's Band
followed, and after them marched the
other members of the club. Anson and

After winning the game the Chicagos
were robbed of it by the umpire.
BALD Robbery.
CHICAGO, June 27th.-The Iater- Ocean
tomorrow will say: at was the rankest
case of robbery by an umpire that has ever
taken place in the CITY, President Spald-

to be SO insulted again, and he should
never permit Youman Doescher to come
upon the ball field at any future game.

of the Chicago public than anything else,

players. 1t had very much the part of a
gamble on Doescher's part, Just as though
he had bet upon the Boston club and was
determined they should win at ali hazards.

bat, hitting four long flyg three out of his
